i read an interview with him in newsweek and he didn’t sound that angry at all, and he wished people would stop calling him a “strident athiest” it’s actually a pretty good article. infact he doesn’t even believe that belief in god and evolution are incompatible positions.
i also didn’t click the link, so i just now noticed that it’s linked to newsweek.com ha!
Yeah, the dude is much more a scientist than he is a militant atheist. It just so happens his field of study is evolutionary biology, so he got wrapped up in the whole God (though much of it is definitely his fault). And while he is an atheist and argues against the idea of belief as a rational way of living your life, he is definitely more focused and concerned with getting people to recognize the truths that we do know — like evolution. I don’t think he minds if all the world believes in God, so long as they stop trying to teach Intelligent Design in schools and give evolution the credibility it deserves.
